Home truths on savings

While a lender’s recent survey focussed on young homebuyers in WA, I don’t think the Millennials and Gen Z’s in that state will be all that different to the rest of Australia. Bankwest’s Home Truths survey found that younger respondents were increasingly willing to make sacrifices to their idea of a dream home to overcome cost-of-living pressures and enter the property market. The Millennials (27-42) and Gen Z’s (18-26) were prepared to sacrifice property features, and even type, to afford a house. In fact, 78 per cent said they would do so. There were differences though between WA and the rest of Australia, and also the younger generations within WA compared to their more senior house hunting counterparts. 43 per cent of WA’s Gen Z homeowners said they were prepared to buy a smaller property than their true preference, up from 28% in the previous survey, and 39% of WA Millennials, when asked, would sacrifice size. WA’s Gen Zs had also significantly shifted in their view of the importance of a safe location, with a drop from 47% previously to just under a third. However, 50% of Millennials named it an important feature. Interestingly, less of the state’s Gen Z’s were inclined to move from city to country (16%, down from 20%), suggesting the COVID-inspired ‘tree change’ trend may be fading. Overall, WA buyers intending to purchase a house in the next five years were most willing to make sacrifices to the location to find a cheaper suburb and reduce the size of the property. East coast buyers were more willing to sacrifice luxury features, such as a pool or a deck. By Lyn Cox ...

The best ways to expand your tenancy pool

They say to hold on to your ‘good’ tenants, but good things don’t last forever and there may come a time when your tenant decides to move on. Perhaps they’ve purchased their own home, outgrown your property, or even moved towns. Regardless of why they’ve moved on, it’s time to find your property’s next caretakers. Cycles of vacancy rates may mean your property is leased immediately, or it may take a little longer to find the perfect fit. While it could just be coincidence, a little investigation may suggest improvements to attract tenants who are eager to stay for longer if you’re finding your tenants aren’t sticking around. In all respects, it is good to be in a position to capture the largest possible tenant pool in order to find the most appropriate applicant for your property. The type of property may lend itself to a particular tenant group, and there are a variety of reasons a property may attract certain tenants. Size and location, proximity to schools, business centres, entertainment centres all play a part. Larger families need larger homes, people with dogs [usually] need a backyard; simply put, some properties just suit a particular tenant more than others. Outside of the essentials of the property itself, up to date photos are a must in order to capture tenants on the hunt for a rental. While professional photos do stand out, the quality of camera phones these days is outstanding, and with a little bit of practice, capturing the best of your property is both very achievable and affordable. Ensuring maintenance work is up to date is important even while the property is vacant. Open home inspections should show no signs of maintenance or presenting unkempt. Prospective tenants will pay particular attention to the cleanliness of the property. You could suggest that your property manager includes a little brief on what is in close proximity to the property, such as popular venues and activities, what’s on guides and local news sources. This could prove particularly helpful for people moving from ‘out-of-town’. While still somewhat of a controversial topic, being open to allowing tenants with pets increases your tenant pool substantially. While many states and territories have recently undergone reforms to make it easier for tenants to own pets in properties, just this month in Queensland, laws have passed that lift a blanket ban by body corporates of units/apartment complexes. Genuine concerns are by no means disregarded, but keep in mind that most pet owners are very responsible when it comes to their pet and the property in which they reside. Highlighting the features of your property and specifying any add-ons, such as washer/dryer included, or solar or even access to additional storage space is important when it comes to your property’s appeal. Allowing the best of your property to be on show and the ability for it to be seen as becoming ‘home’ will no doubt help capture the attention of your future tenant.

RE/MAX AUSTRALIA ROCKS IN VEGAS

A large, colourful, sometimes noisy and always cheerful Australian contingent joined more than 9000 of their global RE/MAX colleagues in February for a massive event. Taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, the three-day R4 convention was filled with world-class education, global networking, business building – and a special celebration of the franchisor’s first 50 years. The annual convention this year had more than 9,300 attendees representing 74 countries and territories, demonstrating a bigger, bolder, and more ambitious RE/MAX spirit than ever before. RE/MAX Holdings Chairman and Co-Founder Dave Liniger kicked off the event crediting his wife and RE/MAX Co-Founder Gail Liniger for the vital role she’s played in the evolution of the Company over the past five decades. The opening session also featured a keynote address from iconic adventurer, mountaineer, author and television host, Bear Grylls who entertained with the many lessons he’s learned from his endeavours, all of which are applicable to entrepreneurs looking to build their businesses. With a nod to all attendees being rock stars in real estate, the formal R4 program wrapped up with an interactive rock show disguised as a keynote address. There really was no better and fitting way to wrap up RE/MAX’s 50th celebration than Mark Schulman, most known right now as Pink’s world class drummer but who has also performed for sold-out audiences worldwide as the drummer for some of the greatest artists of all time, including Foreigner, Billy Idol and Cher After an incredible few days, it was time to let loose. Can you top a private concert for RE/MAX agents from one of the 21st century’s biggest acts, the three-time Grammy Award-winning artists, Maroon 5? This group has sold over 90 million in album sales and 550 million singles worldwide. Added excitement for the Australian contingent came with the announcement that, throughout the 140,000-plus agents in the global RE/MAX network, Australia had the highest level of average commission per agent in 2022, and the second highest number of sales transactions globally in 2022. Impressive! Perhaps you might like to read that again! RE/MAX Australia Managing Director Joel Davoren suggests the #1 spot is mostly due to the greater degree of professionalism in Australia than in the real estate industry internationally, with additional factors being higher property prices in Australia and the AUD being closer than other countries to the USD. RE/MAX is in the top three real estate groups in Australia with the highest average agent commission, based on CoreLogic data. He described R4 as his first taste of a global real estate gathering in the post-covid world. “It felt like a bit of a pressure release. We’ve had knocks and challenges in the past couple of years, but it now feels like we are moving forward in a world sans Covid.” Joel says everything did indeed feel quite normal to him from a pandemic perspective. “There was barely any sign of masks or mention of Covid, but it’s hard to explain the feeling of being face to face with people from so many countries once again. That said, while somethings felt normal, others didn’t. “When you are standing shoulder to shoulder with some sales agents who are facing up to 80 per cent inflation in their countries right now, it really hits home how well off we are in Australia and puts our seven or eight per cent into perspective!” Joel describes the Global Referral Exchange on the R4 program as a veritable United Nations of real estate with one universal language: referrals. “Hundreds of agents from around the world were exchanging business cards, real and virtual, and bringing more opportunities for Australian agents to do business. “There was a noticeable degree of conversation around immigration and Australia’s appeal. Our country is always popular but there was a lot of serious talk about more than just international travel; rather people relocating permanently.” “In speaking with agents from many countries, it was clear that they and their clients see Australia as having a first-class healthcare system; a developed economy that is especially strong in the financial services, healthcare and basic materials sectors; and a burgeoning tech sector. Australia has no inheritance taxes. We rated as one of the five safest countries in the world for 2021/2022 and have been one of the fastest growing markets worldwide over the past 20 years in terms of wealth growth and GDP growth. “We are faring well compared with other countries and we are well placed for growth,” Joel concludes.

Where the streets haven’t been named… yet

The decision to expand your portfolio is an exciting, albeit maybe daunting, prospect heading into the New Year. With rising interest rates, cost of living woes and changing property markets, it is understandable that many investors are proceeding with caution. However, good decisions now pave the way to a strong future, and property continues to be a solid long-term investment option for generating wealth. Finding the right property to purchase is a process not to be rushed. Apartment vs single dwelling, acreage vs high rise, old vs new; they all have their pros and cons. Construction in many parts of the country is still forging ahead, with new developments in particular a popular option for those relocating or wishing to find something more suitable than their current rental home. If you’re weighing up your next property investment, pre-construction investments may be worth considering. Pros: No negotiations with previous property owners/maintenance work to be completed. You have a say in almost every aspect of your investment (if single dwelling) – from property location, position of build, layout, view and design inclusions etc. Developers are often motivated to sell properties on the plan; and this may work in your favour. Maintenance and repairs in the first few years are often minimal, and many of these are likely to be covered under builder’s warranty. Re-sale value is often good. Cons: Projects/developments, especially if purchased in early stages, can take some time to come to fruition. Delays can happen, which can result in delays for you to see return on your investment. New developments, while built to capture and build a specific community, may not yet have established facilities. While properties may have the benefit of modern features, they may also lack the ‘character’ of older properties. Your RE/MAX team can assist with information about potential investment opportunities in your area. By Lyn Cox ...
